Five Ways To Choose An Immigration Lawyer

If you are looking to hire an immigration lawyer to help you with your immigration application or immigration case, you’ve made a great choice. An immigration lawyer can be a valuable asset and help guide you through the often complex immigration process. But not all immigration lawyers are the same, so it can take a bit of work to choose the one that’s right for you.

How to research an immigration lawyer before you hire them

Tip 1: Googling an immigration lawyer’s name or their law firm’s name is the perfect place to start when you need to research them. Google may have recent news articles about the lawyer or law firm, information about awards they’ve won, or unbiased reviews.

Tip 2: Ask around. You can ask your friends, family member or co-workers who have recently dealt with the immigration process if they have had any positive – or negative – experiences with local immigration lawyers.

Tip 3: Visit the immigration lawyer’s website. Some immigration lawyers’ websites offer a wealth of information, and the website may be able to answer some of your questions before you call. A website can give you a good concept of the lawyer’s experience and knowledge.

Tip 4: Read their blog. Many businesses blog about current events or situations that relate to their business, and immigration lawyers are no different. What kind of information do they want to share with you? Are they knowledgeable, and do they seem helpful?

Tip 5: Call their office. When you call their office, whoever answers the phone should be courteous and friendly. They may not be able to answer your questions, but you can always be transferred to someone who can. How you feel after you get off the phone with them can teach you a lot about your future dealings as a client.
